Storing with gas in tank, for a year or more?
Hi folks, I'd like your advice! I probably won't be driving my van in the next 12 months. It has a full gas tank, regular gas. It's up on leveling blocks and I would like to keep it that way, ...

I get the message of service temporarily unavaialble nine times out of ten. if it is when I attempt to post, and go back to the page to try to post it again it won't let me.
So if this post. Get a can of VP race fuel concentrate, or Sunoco etc if they have it. one can makes 10 gallons f race fuel with any gas.
Roughly 22.00 per can at parts store.
Obviously it wont' turn a large tank into 110 octane racing gas but what it will do with the tolulene and oxygenators in it is clean lines etc and any sour gas in small quantities.
This is when you intend to start it up after sitting.
Buy a bottle or two depending on tank size of Chevron or other additive designed to replace what cheap gas does not have detergents in it and add it to your gas. it will help clean liens etc too.
If you have Ethanol gas mix in your tank by all means use blue bottle of Stabil before you shut it down, for winter or whatever. When you intend to restart it if you have a water separator near the tank or anywhere drain it. You will most likely find some water with ethanol in the gas. Today with this Ethanol gas on a large tank of a Mh If I had one that used gas I would install a fuel/water separator at the low poing in the line near the tank. Make sure the separator/filter media is ethanol gas compatible not diesel only.
That's just my 2 cents and other I am sure have some better advice.
